Answer

a) $C=+200x$ b) $R=450x$ c) 200 desks are produced and sold

Work Step by Step

Let's note by $x$ the number of desks. a) The cost $C$ contains the fixed cost and the cost of the $x$ desks: $C=60000+200x$ b) The revenue $R$ is the amount got from selling $x$ desks: $R=450x$ c) The break-even point happens when cost equals revenue: $C=R$ $60000+200x=450x$ $60000+200x-200x=450x-200x$ $60000=250x$ $x=\dfrac{60000}{250}$ $x=240$ desks
